Owning my Goals

I get a daily email from Brad Pilon and today's advice is a goody - owning your goals.

To reference what he wrote at http://bradpilon.com/weight-loss/how-to-get-an-awesome-body/

"Because the only way to truly get an awesome body is by defining what an “awesome body’ means to YOU.
Do you want to be shredded OR do you want to run marathons?
Do you want to be thin OR do you want to weigh 115 pounds?
You have to really narrow in on your goals.
Then you have to OWN them.

If your number one health and fitness desire is to have a big bench press…when someone retorts with “yeah, but what can you squat?” you need to be 100% comfortable with the following answer:

I don’t care.

Because these are YOUR goals no theirs."


This is my attempt at owning my goals. And these are not my short-term goals, these are my forever and ever goals.

1. 20% body fat
2. BMI under 24
3. Ability to do a difficult, 8 hour hike
4. Ability to run a 10km in 40 minutes
5. Ability to run a 5km in 20 minutes
6. Defined arms
7. Defined abs
8. Defined butt
9. Cellulite free quads
10. Size 10 or smaller

These are my goals in order of priority. It is actually quite empowering. Yippee!!!
